University of Bedfordshire Case Study
Q Associates help with building a Smart Storage Strategy at the University of Bedfordshire.
The challenge:
With over 60% of its existing NetApp storage estate approaching an important end of standard support milestone, the University of Bedfordshire wanted to carefully consider its next steps: take up a new premium-priced extended support agreement; initiate a partial hardware refresh; or replace the entire estate with entirely new FAS arrays.
“This was a big commercial, rather than a technology-driven, decision for us”, explains Minesh Chikniwala, Deputy CIO (Operations and Services) at the University of Bedfordshire. “We were happy with NetApp and eager to leverage our existing in-house expertise with this vendor.”
